The Machine in Life and Death - the Legal Language and Twisted State Logic behind Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program and the market for Assisted Reproductive Technology

Voice Of GO(r)D brings you a deep and dark conversation, hot on the heels of the UK Parliament passing an assisted dying law through second reading, between Canadian MAID critic Amanda Achtman, and Jeff Shafer, an American lawyer and scholar who has been investigating developments in legal language which have been used to justify the commercial expansion of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) beyond merely helping those who have trouble conceiving a child. The conversation is a pretty serious examination of how The Machine applies its twisted logic to the beginning and end of life, and offers us a glimpse in to how we might resist these developments and conserve what humanity we have left in 2024.
